He was born September 5, 1993.

He was reunited with his brother Dudley (Ugly..ha ha) 10 years later.

He was brought into my life after a painful and difficult time for me personally. He was given as a gift, and I picked him out. I almost chose one of his brothers, then he turned around and looked at me and something just said to pick HIM. So I did.

He lived with me until I moved out of state and he stayed with my parents. They are elderly and in poor health, and he has been their "saving grace." They live for him, and they worship him! He has brought much love and comfort to everyone he has met, and has always been funny, energetic, and so smart!

Yoshi loves cookies and insists on having 5 after dinner. If only 3 or 4 cookies is put down, he'll bark until the 5th one is presented to him. If 6 cookies are placed, he'll only eat the 5! Very smart!

Yoshi is always the "Master of Ceremonies" at the Western New York Pug Club's semi-annual events: Pug-O-Ween and Spring Fling. He is a gracious little host.

Mostly though, Yoshi has brought comfort and strength to me and my parents. He is my "first born" child and he changed my life.
